Śreṇibandha (श्रेणिबन्ध).—A type of adhiṣṭhāna (‘pedestal’);—Śreṇibandha-adhiṣṭhāna is also mentioned in Mayamata (verse 14.33), Mānasāra (verses 14.62-72) and Kāśyapaśilpa (verses 6.61-65). This type adhiṣṭhāna is an uncommon type like that of Śrīkānta. One type of śreṇibandha-adhiṣṭhāna is mentioned in Mayamata, which states that this should possess twenty six equal parts. However Mānasāra mentions 4 variants of śreṇibandha-adhiṣṭhāna possessing eighteen parts, twenty two parts, twenty three parts and twenty four parts. Mānasāra prescribes this type of plinth for temples as well as other structures, while Mayamata disagrees and states that the śreṇibandha-adhiṣṭhāna is suitable only for gods. This plinth possesses minor mouldings like fillets and doucines interspersing the major mouldings like upāna, jagati, kumuda, and prati. This plinth should be decorated with lions etc.
